Nice Things Nice People Have Said

About our CD:

"...Intricate rhythms and bratty female caterwauls, a head for complexity and rumbling over melody‹CG&J is exuberantly playful. ...It won't appeal to everyone, but good things seldom do. ...If you prefer the crowded chaos and visual violence of a Pollack print to the serene harmony of a Monet, might I recommend the manic canvas of Cantwell Gomez & Jordan."
--Brian Howe, The Crutch

"This is more than organized noise. The jarring, often discordant rhythms of CG&J land somewhere between the power of their dizzying live show and the cerebral stylings of the NASA channel.... A must-have."
--Lauren Hooker, The Independent (Durham, NC)

"The sounds contained within CG&J's self-titled debut album very smartly start and stop while constantly managing to remain fresh. ...Surely the indicator of greater works that are still to come."
--Cory Rayborn, FakeJazz.com

"These American of CHAPEL HILL competes of ideas and noisy musical lucky finds and a freshness dissonate that little manages to set up! No wave, post punk muscular, the emmaillote whole of a parsimonious sax, the qualifiers will not be able to really compete with this music, a technique of perfect guitar to the service of strange and dissonant, a side really intriguing, a thingummy noise which one has the impression to know since always and which with final feels a familiar odor with this after shaving if pimpant! Good discovery for a very successful disc frankly!"

"WXYC [Chapel Hill, NC] has been spinningŠCantwell Gomez & Jordan so much lately that we had to get a copy for ourselves and check it out. It was easy to see why the station likes the CD so much."
--Brad Maybe, CMJ

About our shows:

"CG&J are the total state-of-the art in messed-up, no-wave fast/precise/skronk postpunk."
--Ross Grady, TriangleRock.com

"Holy crap are they good. They were pretty happy to bash skulls in or drone in slow motion jazz stylings. Definitely someone I'll watch again."
--M., Pataphysics-Lab.com

"Big on shifting gears, controlling volume to the low and high extremes and shifting tempos in dramatic and exciting ways, CG&J bring a free jazz sensibility to their rock, splattering gobs of shattered notes against the walls like some abstract expressionist painters."
--Chris Toenes, Triangle.com
